My Mom has nice buns !! I finally got the recipe, and I'm posting it here for safe keeping. The method seems old fashioned, but it has never failed.

01In a very large mixing bowl, add the sugar, oil and salt into the boiling water. let cool to lukewarm, then stir in eggs. If you think the water may to too hot for the eggs, temper them by putting the them into a small dish and very slowing pour about 1/4 c of the water on to them stirring with a fork the whole time. When mixed, pour them into the sugar/water mixture.
02In a separate bowl, stir the flour and yeast together, them add to the water mixture about 2 cups at a time. Exact measurements will vary, but the dough should be soft, not sticky.
03Dump the dough onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet and knead the dough. Clean and oil the large bowl it was in, put the dough in and brush with oil. Let is rise in a warm place (the oven - shut off, but with light on is a good spot) until doubled.
